Bon nuit, mon pouvre petite Kidda!

Je t'aime!




Mon petite Kidda was put to sleep on Sunday. I will miss her so much!

The little Kidda

My dear, sweet little Kidda is getting old.

Last week, I took her into the vet's office 'cause she had a swollen face which ended up being an abscessed tooth. After checking her out, the doc found that she is also severely anemic and has chronic renal failure. He wanted to put her down on Friday. I was at work and just cried and cried that I wouldn't get to see her to say goodbye. My boss let me leave early so I could be with her for an hour before they closed and she was put down. This was late afternoon.
We walked in and she woke up to see me and let me hold her. I set her back in her cage when she started eating like the pig that she is. My sister said "No way!" and ran to grab the doc. he came in and said that she had improved a lot since the morning and that he didn't feel comfortable putting her down just yet. She isn't ready.
I got to take her home the next morning (Sat) and have had to administer Kitty Torture twice a day. I give her a sub q drip, antibiotics, pain meds and vitamins.
We went to see the doc yesterday and he said that we are just going day to day at this point. She will tell me when she is ready to go, and she's not doing that yet. she's still eating/drinking, being somewhat active, although much slower than she used to, doing her bidness regularly....so yeah, she's not ready.

I am just going to try my best to keep her comfortable until she decides she is finished.

She is a good kidda and we've had some good times being brat together.

I love her!

3. I have crushes all the time, but have only loved a few.

12. Do you judge people by their musical preferences?
No. I think that music is one of the most personal ways to express ones feelings and for me to judge them on their feelings would make me an asshole.

13. Would you move to another state or country to be with the one you love?
I dunno. Depends on the state and how much I love them.

No. It's a fucking great feeling! Even when it's painful. However, I am picky about who I will fall for.

Well, besides looks, it is a great and twisted sense of humor, a good work ethic, and how much fun they allow themselves to have.

Make-out? I guess last week. I dunno. We've been together for so long, we usually just start humping.

Clean the living room. alas, it must be done.

French and art

24. Who was your first Prom date?
Chad

25. Who was the first person to break your heart?
A group of girlfriends in the 2nd grade who decided it would be fun to see what I'd do if they all stopped talking to me and told me that they hated me on;y to then say it was just to see how I'd react. We were friends again, but I stopped truly trusting girls at that point in my life. Kinda sad, huh.

26. Ever been to Las Vegas?
I LOVE Vegas!

27. Where are you most ticklish?
Uh, everywhere.

Nah. What's happened in my past is what makes me who I am. Why change that?

40. Do you like your life right now?
It's a hard one right now. Has been for a few years, but it's getting better and for some reason, as shitty as things get, I am always some sort of retarded optimist. Go figure.

Bad patronage

I hate those new Burger King commercials! They're obviously made by a bunch of suits who have never worked behind a counter in their lives.

Why on earth would any company promote treating their minimum wage-earning employees like complete and utter shit? I can understand the need for them to show their product as being desirable, but these commercials only promote people to act like bigger assholes than they already do!

Maybe I am being a big baby, but as someone who works retail, it really gets my Irish up! I think that in order to get any sort of degree in university, you must complete at least one year in some form of customer service. These people need to see first hand what it takes to do this sort of job and how shitty the people who have never done it themselves treat them!


That, and they are stupid commercials.

Oh and the King is super creepy.

Oh! Sweet cheeses!

Grilled cheese sandwiches are probably my favorite of the comfort foods. I will NOT make it with american cheese. Ever. I like mine with thick slices of cheddar so that it's a bit "chalky" in the middle, though all melty is fucking yummy as well.
I like to dip mine in a bit of mustard.

That is how I have always done it. That is, until now....

I think I'm in love!

I'm feeling in a rambling mood. Just watch me ramble!

So yeah. It's been a hard year for me, but also a lot of other people to. what the fuck is going on? I keep hearing about all of this bad stuff! Depression, being broke, thoughts of suicide. Fuck. This is NOT good. I need to be happier with myself and my life quick so that I can go back to being a good supportive friend (and lover and sister, and aunt, etc.) My being a saddo is NOT helping anyone, especially me!

So, I am going to remember to focus on the good stuff, like say....my birthday is in less than three weeks, yo!...and I have a lot of good friends, and a lovely, cute, sexy and spastic boyfriend, I have a cute old lady kidda, my niece is out at the Pike Place Market buying us seafood for breakfast! I'm making some cool bracelets and things to sell! Can't forget to think of that stuff. That stuff is good. Sure, I am having financial troubles, but you know what? So are a lot of people, I need not dwell on my issues, I'm not all that special.
I mean, sometimes, I will get all moody and think "well, my problems don't really matter anyway." and you know what? they really don't! I mean, to ME they do, but not really to anyone else. Sure, people would like to see me happy, but when it comes down to it, my problems DON"T matter to others, and they really shouldn't. Everyone has their issues, and....blah, blah, blah. I am rambling.

Told you!

I'm not feeling so pretty these days. Don't know why, but I am not going to worry about it. I'll figure it out. maybe I'll do something with my hair, maybe I'll just decide that I don't care. We'll see.

I'm looking into maybe taking sparring lessons. I don't really want to get hit, though. Maybe I'll just beat up a punching bag. We'll see. Kick boxing might be fun too. My dad is all excited that I want to learn to spar! Isn't that hilarious? I love my dad, he's a good sport. The poor guy has 6 kids, three boys, three girls. The girls were all into sports and cutting our hair short, and the boys all had long hippy hair and were more interested in music than sports! hahaha! He took it in stride 'cause we're his kids. Sure, he would have liked us girls to be all pretty with long hair and dresses, but that's not who we were. We have always been allowed and encouraged to be who we are. That's rad! yay!

Yeah, so okay. Let's review. Gonna be happy. Gonna beat people up. going to have a birthday soon (I'm going to have a bbq and grill oysters. If anyone wants to come, let me know, I'm inviting many people!) dad is cool, boys are hippies, everyone has issues.....yeah, i think I've covered it.

bye!
